Once a week.
Every other week.

1.
To keep from fouling the air compressor oil.
Water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
The low boiling point of water reduces braking power.

1.
Pump the brake pedal rapidly and lightly.
Brake hard until the wheels lock, and then get off the brakes for as much time as the wheels were locked.
Brake as hard as you can, get off the brakes when the wheels lock, get back on the brakes when the wheels start rolling again.
Press hard on the brake pedal and apply full hand valve until you stop.

1.
Pressure on the brake pedal is released and speed increases.
You have to push harder on the brake pedal to control your speed on a downgrade.
The brake feels spongy when pressure is applied.
Less pressure is needed on the brake pedal for each stop.

1.
Park on level ground, chock the wheels, and release the parking brakes.
Stop on level ground and apply the parking brakes.
Park on level ground and drain off air pressure before adjusting.
Park on a slight grade, release the parking brake, apply the service brakes, and check for vehicle movement.

1.
The tractor protection valve

Stop and safely park as soon as possible.
Up-shift.

1.
Can only be tested by highly trained brake service people.
Depends on the adjustment of the service brakes.
Increases when the service brakes are hot.
Is not affected by the condition of the service brakes.

1.
When air is pumped into the air tanks.
Air pressure applied to the brakes.

Use different brake drums.
Require heavier return springs.
All of the above.

1.
To hold your speed when going downhill.
Whenever the vehicle is parked.
As little as possible.
Only during pre and post trip inspections.

1.
Is to be used as a footrest during normal driving.
Controls the speed of the air compressor.

Is connected to slack adjusters by a series of rods and linkages.

1.

1.
Reduce the risk of ice in air brake valves in cold weather.
Eliminate the need for daily tank draining.
Rid the wet tank of alcohol that condenses and sits at the bottom.
Boost tank pressure the same way that superchargers boost.

1.

Can steer hard while braking hard.
Stay in a straight line and can steer.
Use the hand brake first.

1.
Reduce your speed and drive to the nearest garage for repairs.
Continue at normal speed and find a garage before the brakes lock.
Reduce your speed and test the remaining system while under way.
Stop. Safely park, and continue only after the system is fixed.
